The Man Come From Nowhere

These past few days, there has only been one name flashing on all our television screens, a man of great ambition wanting a Better India, the second Gandhi-  Arvind Kejriwal!

But from where has he come?

He is perceived as someone new, dynamic and unconventional. The whole nation has seem to put their trust in him but the biggest question yet to be answered is whether he will be able to prove himself worthy enough to them.

As far as his education is concerned, he completed his mechanical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and then he worked for Tata Steel and went on to join the Indian Revenue Service after qualifying through the Civil Services Examination.  After a few years, he left the government services and from nowhere came into politics with the whole Anna Hazare episode.

He seems to have some huge ideas and great scope for improvement but how well is he going to implement and execute them will show his actual agenda in politics.

He has just become the Chief Minister of Delhi and the state is already falling apart. He is taking all kinds of measures disapproved by a large section of people in the state. His so called “dharna” had created immense havoc and confusion among the people. He believes to save the female circle from all kinds of atrocities they face but is this the right way to go about with it?

The main reason for him joining politics was to fight against corruption but this is more of an anarchy form of government he has created. In that case, where does democracy play its role in this whole process? He is trying to change the whole concept of Indian politics. Well, that’s quite a clever and macho step Mr Kejriwal, but who is really going to benefit from it?

He had put the entire city of Delhi at a halt for two whole days and after taking such a drastic step, he tried to apologise but what was the point of it when it had already created so much inconvenience to the people who were so frustrated and disoriented.

He seems to have so much aspiration for the country but his ways of going about with them have no direction at all. Oh yes!! He had contributed to the enactment of the Right to Information Act and being the master behind the Lokpal Bill shows that he has done some good for the country, but it cannot just stop there. It has to continue and how is that going to happen, by having some victory over calling off his “Dharna”?

He is going to lose the support of his people if he does not wake up in time and come up with more realistic and effective ways of combatting these kinds of issues.

He had mentioned in an interview recently that the media played absolutely no role in his success in the recent Delhi elections. What is he trying to say?! Does he think it is that easy to win the hearts of so many who are only attached to the media from the time they get up to the time they hit the sack? He is not interested in giving credit to anyone but himself and I doubt such a person will ever make it to the top. He is not experienced and how does one achieve something without any kind of exposure to the real world?

He has also made remarks such as “How can Mr Shinde sleep at night when women are unsafe?” By making this statement is he really conscience about the current situation of the people or is this just another way of grabbing attention to get some extra votes in the upcoming elections?  Does he ever realize that he should stand up and take accountability for his doings too?

He is noted for his simple-tin ways of life and it seems like the capital was waiting for someone like him to come along and change that whole VIP lifestyle prevalent there. But he must understand that everything takes time and he cannot be in such a rush like he always is in trying to bring about amends.

With the 2014 general elections just around the corner, Mr Kejriwal has to note that he may be the Chief Minister of the country’s capital but being the Prime Minister is a whole new ball game. It is just not taking care of the priorities of a certain section of people but an entire nation.  So is he ready for this challenge?

The other big factor coming in his way is the BJP Prime Minister Nominee Mr Narendra Modi who has nothing much to impress the public about but he has been around for a while and seems to be catching people’s attention by fooling them with his campaigns. He is trying to get all the support he can from the youth who play a very crucial role in this year’s elections.

Mr Kejriwal has shown great determination and strong will in the past. But who knows how far that will take him. He has to learn to take charge of things not just for the fancy title but by focussing on the welfare of the people.

Just as he mentioned earlier, that the security of the people in Delhi was left with God, I’m sure he cannot expect the same for our country's future.

The Aam Aadmi Party has definitely brought about enthusiasm and made people more involved with the current politics of the country but they have to start getting their act together before they make a mockery of what they preach.

If they want to fight in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, their first step should be trying to prove themselves noble and trustworthy in the eyes of the people in Delhi.

We are all completely fascinated by our thoughts as they have made us believe in their confidence of making our nation free from all kind of corruption but the biggest joke will be when they cannot make this happen.

Now his only hope is whether the country is willing to give him yet another chance to be something bigger and hopefully that little broom of his will be able to clean up all the mess created before it becomes too late!
